Very into: joyful movement, creating inclusive spaces, and helping folks reconnect with their bodies in a compassionate way and discover their strength. Recovering from perfectionism and diet culture, one training session at a time.
Avoiding scales and unsolicited fitness advice since the early 2000s.
I’m a personal trainer of nearly 20 years, founder of Body Positive Fitness, and a firm believer that movement should feel like a celebration, not a punishment. After so many years in the fitness industry, I've seen firsthand how toxic gym culture can be, and it is my life goal to change that narrative.
I'm Jenna
it's nice to meet you!
here's how it all started
That cycle isn’t your fault, it’s the fitness industry that failed you.
Our approach is rooted in the Health at Every Size® framework. We believe that fitness should be joyful, inclusive, and sustainable, something that truely fits into your life. My mission is to create safe, welcoming spaces for anyone who has ever felt out of place in traditional gyms.
Fitness shouldn’t be about becoming someone else. It should be about coming home to yourself, discovering what feels good, and building a movement practice that supports the life you actually want to live.
I’ve been down the road of restrictive diets & dreadful workout plans. I know what it’s like to chase goals that never actually make you feel better. And I know how easy it is to fall into a cycle of burnout and guilt.
At Body Positive Fitness, we don’t focus on weight loss, measurements, or appearance-based goals. We focus on building confident strength, cultivating joy in movement, and helping you feel powerful in your body.

Hi, I’m Jenna. It's nice to meet you! I’ve been working in fitness for most of my life.
After more than a decade as a personal trainer, I was sick of the industry. Then, I created Body Positive Fitness and everything changed. Over the years, I kept noticing the same pattern: people would walk into the gym feeling like they needed to fix themselves. These were strong, capable, smart, successful people… but the moment they stepped into a fitness space, they began to doubt themselves. I knew there had to be a different way. A way to move that felt good, not punishing. A way to engage with fitness that wasn’t rooted in shame, guilt, or judgment.
I created Body Positive Fitness as a safe and supportive space for people who often feel left out of traditional fitness environments. What started as a place for plus size fitness quickly grew into a welcoming community for aging adults, folks with disabilities, queer and trans people, and anyone who’s ever felt unseen or uncomfortable in mainstream gyms.

That’s how Body Positive Fitness began.
By 2019, Body Positive Fitness was running multiple in-person classes across Toronto and Newmarket. When the pandemic hit, we pivoted to virtual fitness and ended up connecting with incredible people across Canada, the U.S., and beyond. That shift allowed us to expand our offerings and reach more people who needed inclusive fitness options at home.
Today, Body Positive Fitness offers a range of in-person and virtual fitness services:
- Group classes in Aurora, Toronto, Newmarket, and across the GTA
- Virtual live classes you can join from anywhere
- Online personal training sessions tailored to your goals and needs, that you can do from anywhere
- An extensive on-demand movement library for flexibility and access anytime
Our in-person classes include:
- Strength Training
- Stretch & Mobility
- Active Aging Classes
- Barre
- and more!
And we intentionally keep our class sizes small, so everyone feels seen, supported, and safe.
At Body Positive Fitness, we believe movement should be:
- Joyful
- Empowering
- Truly welcoming, for every body
No matter your age, size, ability, gender, or background; you deserve a space to move where you’re respected, celebrated, and never judged.
Welcome to Body Positive Fitness—where fitness feels like home.
After more than a decade working in traditional gyms, I developed disordered eating and harmful exercise habits, ones that were not only accepted but encouraged by an industry built on insecurity and unrealistic expectations. It wasn’t until I stepped away from those spaces that I realized how deeply damaging they had been, not just for me, but for so many others.
